Hi Everyone

Less than one minute read time.

I am not sure what to write here. I have never created a blog post before and I am not sure what I am doing. 

I have recently been diagnosed with what I am told is referred to stage "0" breast cancer. I know I am lucky that it has been caught early and that it is treatable. I have found though that since diagnosis nothing feels the same. I feel very unhappy almost all of the time and this is paralleled with the thoughts of guilt for the way I am feeling, I am aware that this news is best case scenario. 

I am due to start radiation and tamoxifen with an option to take sertraline. 

I don't have family to speak to about this diagnosis. I also cannot tell my work. Luckily I work from home 3 days a week with the other 2 in the office so I can take annual leave for the office days during radiation. 

Is anyone else in this position/has been?
